The VentureBeat article presents 5 trends that are expected to happen in the cybersecurity sector in 2024.

• Data Explosion and Security Strategy: Rapid growth of data across various platforms and technologies will pose a challenge for securing data and require a rethink of security strategies.
• Attacks on Virtualized Infrastructure: Attackers will target more components of virtualized infrastructure, such as hypervisors and API's, as they offer advantages in speed and scale.
• Edge Devices and Hacker Groups: Edge devices, such as routers and switches, will become a battleground for hacker groups, especially those linked to governments, as they seek to differentiate themselves and gain access to networks.
• AI and Cybersecurity: VentureBeat predicts that AI will dominate the cybersecurity conversation, as both attackers and defenders will use it for various purposes, such as generating malware, automating attacks, improving defenses, and creating deepfakes.
• Government Actions and CISO's: In the wake of recent government actions, such as charges against SolarWinds and its CISO, new SEC rules on cybersecurity disclosure, and geopolitical conflicts, the responsibilities of CISO's and other senior leaders is top of mind.
